(Reuters) -Oil prices rose on Monday as global supply is tightening with lower exports from Saudi Arabia and Russia, offsetting nagging concerns about global demand growth amid high interest rates. Brent crude climbed 61 cents to $85.41 a barrel by 0649 GMT, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $81.88 a barrel, up 63 cents. Both front-month benchmark prices snapped a 7-week winning streak last week to post a weekly loss of 2% after the U.S. dollar strengthened on the possibility interest rates could remain higher for longer, with China's property crisis adding to concerns about its sluggish economic growth and oil demand.  ( 32 min )

Investors, however, would prefer massive fiscal spending to minor rate cuts and there is little sign of that as yet.  ( 32 min )
